- I decided to leave the Porsche workshop I was in, whilst there was a lot to like about it, I was craving more. I do not regret the move. Stay tuned for videos from the new shop.

We spend a huge amount of time during our lives at work so might as well do it somewhere you are happy if you can.
What im trying to do. Just me, a spray gun and a car.💯
Biggest problem in the spraypainting industry is not giving the apprentice plenty of booth time because the boss doesn't want to spend extra on materials or head painter feeling inferior and feeling insecure about his job if he teaches someone younger and has the potential.
Apprentice here. Super thankful my painter gives me hella practice. He definitely makes me prove I can do something a few times before moving on but he's not afraid to let me try new things.
You hit the nail on the head with the comment about other painters and even panel beaters feeling threatened by someone else starting in a shop...Im 41 now and have been in the trade since I was 16, I've worked in a lot of shops over the years and now run my own...it's the one thing in the trade that never goes away.
I learned a long time ago that my standards and my name was all that mattered in the long term, and not some idiots feelings getting hurt because he thought someone 'new' was going to take away his world championship spray painters belt from him !!! It's ridiculous
So true!!
My favorite vids of yours are the small blend repairs.. which are the repairs MOST people want to try to DIY.. you make it seem easy
in the same position right now, took a job at a Porsche shop tired of all the endless polishing, getting micro managed to the point where they second guess what size shirt I wear, just got an opportunity to leave and I'm taking it. Thank you for making this video it really makes me feel better about my decision. Keep up the good work mate.
Ive had one of those jobs where I was micromanaged, every time you turn around you got dude saying “sure you should use a red pad there?” “Sure you shouldn’t sand that up to 5000 before you polish it?” Never ending, and on everything you do, dude even questioned if I should eat a big greasy cheeseburger for lunch lmao
Thank you for the video and it's good to see you setteld in your new work shop the main thing is your comfortable where ever you decide to work stay safe gunman and it's good to see you spraying
good luck in the new job Gunny!... i absolutely know that "micro managed" feeling. i left my last job for the same reason.
Do you gunny! Life too short not to be happy..mad respect to you sir. Always a thumbs up from Galveston texas!
We all miss u very much Brother… So glad to hear you’re happy again and doing what you do best… best wishes from all your friends in the West ☝️🏆
Wherever you go Gunny, we are with you and wish you all the best in life.
The beauty of moving shops is you knocked the type of work out of the park. Now on to new challenges.
Good for you - I am sure that decision took some time. It is very important that you enjoy the work AND the people. I get the staying busy part - that is what makes some people happy.
Good for you mate and best for you always moving forward 👍😎👌
Good luck gunman, all the best, your advice is priceless.
Best of luck in your new endeavors!
Couldnt put it better. Recently joined up wioth a shop with a second booth. Both of us painters have the mind set of working as a team to get the work done and produce a good job while helping each other improve as painters and not worrying about who is better or worse. Just improvement and team work!
Thank you!
Good for you, hope the new job works out!!
Good luck Gunman. Irrespective of where you work you always give us a great deal of enjoyment with your videos plus we learn an awful lot from you.
Good luck mate! Looking forward for more prep and spray ;)
I’m a quiet background follower and don’t speak up often on stuff like this. Everyone has their thing. Most people do the work they do because they love it. For me it’s rowing racing shells…. 2k paint, i learned a lot from you just by watching. If you don’t enjoy what your doing then at the end of the day what is the point ! It can be the little things within the job that we love, not the primary task, but if that’s what gives you the happy feeling when you go home at the end of the day, or makes you want to get up in the morning, then that’s worth it ! Personally I see you as an inspiration, and grey educator for those that haven’t come through the traditional pathways. Keep it up, and do what makes you love the job you chose ! Ps spray suits are top quality ! Love them
just painted a 69 chevelle, did it in le mans blue and two stripes in a pearl white. took me by myself a month to get it nice and flat, one morning to base/clear it, let it sit two weeks in the sun to let it cure, broke it open with 600 grit, let it sit for two more weeks, 800, 1500,2000 , polished out like glass. 3 weeks later no chop, no shrink back. most time ive ever spent on a paint job.
Good luck at the new shop Gunslinger ! Keep up the good work and nice videos
Hey man gunny good luck to you. Only you alone knows your capability and your skills are not being used to there full potential I know you will do great were ever you go all the best cheers man
You inspire me to challenge myself painting everyday, and this video spoke to me. Thank you for sharing your feelings and rationale.
Gunny with mad skills like yours you set conditions you want. You’ll do great wherever you go!
Hey Gunny, the guns arrived safely and big thankyou for the stickers. Cheers dude, I've got plenty to spray shortly so I'll let you know how they feel.. cheers again man.
I wish you all the best Gunny ! good decision 👍👍✌️
All the best gunny 👍
Good on you mate. Always follow your gut/heart..
WOW!!! I was shocked after watching the video because I've been going through the same thing recently.
I understand you so well. I worked at a production shop painting 3 cars a day and I recently started my own shop where I get to paint maybe 3 cars a week and I really miss the spray time.
You never work a day in your life, when you are left to enjoy what you do. Godspeed Gunman. B.
Hey Gunny, I'm really pleased that you are back doing what you do best and what you like best. Anyone that knows you can tell that you were more than capable of working at the Porsche shop you have all the skills to do everything that is asked of you but at the end of the day you have to be happy at what you are doing so I hope you have found that where you are now, all the best Gunny.
I have recently upgraded my clear and base guns, after winning the new DV1S smart repair gun and seeing how much better it is than the SRI I had to get the DV1 clear and DV1 base and have to say they are fantastic guns, another reason for getting them was your reviews of them especially the DV1 base and I was shocked that it was so much better than my GTI Pro TE10, the DV1 lays base effortlessly and the DV1 clear is a joy to get that flat glassy finish, I may be nearly £1k out of pocket but have a huge smile each time I use them 😁👍 John UK
Good luck to you going forward.
Wish you the best.
When you can put out work like that, you have the ability to call the shots.
I love the colour on that hyundai... Congrats on the move to the new shop.
Gunman you've always had a knack for cutting through the bs. I appreciate your insight on the psychology behind people being threatened or competitive in the shop environment.
The water under the booth was interesting enough but glad to hear you're back to doing what you enjoy.
Good luck. 👍
Good luck in the new spot gunny. Regards from Ireland.
Love what you do, youll never work a day in your life. Ive been watching your channel for a long time and its given me the inspiration to become a better painter. Keep the videos comming Gunman
Glad you stuck to your principles and did what you wanted to do 👍
I love watching your videos you take time in describing what you do your a very good teacher thanks Gunner
Good luck on the new chapter of your career. That spray gun though... looks so smooth.
Great advice
Good luck mate.
Hi it’s your friend paul from ladner bc Canada !!! Thank
God u are back making videos ! I’m. 55 years young and was drawn to your real life approach and skill , to truly inspire people !!! You and Pete from swrnc are the best in my opinion
When it's time to move North don't delay. All the best "The Gunman" 👍👍
Feel for you mate. Follow what you feel is right for you, that's what is important. 💪
The saying if your not moving forwards your moving backwards is so true well done Gunna :)
*you're
You have to be happy not only what you're doing, but more importantly where and who you're doing it for.
Good luck at the new place Sir....
Im 5 months into my apprenticeship and already on the gun and I absolutely love what I do and I love the challenge. I hope I can never stray away from smash repair workshops
Time to open your own shop gunny. You’re a legend. Funny enough it was last night I was planning on making my own video regarding why I left my job too. All the best pal. Love 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
We stay with you Gunny!
Good on you for prioritizing your own special set of motivators to go to work every day over a slower hi quality shop most people would easily settle for. Refreshing to see mate!
I didn't think that shop was you! Congrats on a big decision. You are a mover and shaker...carry on, Sir!
DAMN!!! That clear laid down so freaking smooth!!! Get rid of your polishing equipment! Nice work and congrats jumping jobs to what you love and not sticking to something you weren't happy with.
Good point at around 10:00. Excellence isn't pie. There is enough to go around for everyone.
Well done Gunny follow your gut always
Gorgeous beautiful beautiful work
Love your videos! I too recently parted ways from a 13 year career in a service industry and was really really good but no one around me was wanting to improve themselves thus it was harder for me to improve myself can’t live like that.
Good luck and God bless
one of the things i hated where i was last was lack of competition in the paint shop, when you have someone of quality working with you, you bounce off each other and have a great time
As that retired porsche/bmw/lexus type painter.... nice job. Do what makes you smile, thats all that matters in the end.
Bro, I started spraying because of your vids and have gone from the worst jobs to even shittier with employees who will purposefully sabotage you at all cost. I used to own a recording studio and a very successful one for that matter but I cant get enough of the spray. I now paint trains and absolutely love it. Anyways I just wanted to say thank you for every single video because without them I wouldve given up on spraying a long ass time ago. From Dallas with much respect bro. P.S. I cant come to Australia but if you are ever in the states I have a car you can paint, thanks. Lol
Yes mate life is to short. Move on and enjoy....
Great video
Thanks for sharing
Welcome back 👍🏻🇬🇧
Much respect to you man I appreciate ya videos your dope 💯
A lot of us knew you weren't staying before you did.
Watching you for 5 years.
Pulled trigger on Pro lite first time 3 month ago glass almost every time.
Hay nothing wrong with trying something new out mate. But yea as painters who would want to polish all day. Def rather be painting. Even if there average cars.
Awesome to hear gunnys a happy lad, BEAST IN THE SHOP 👊
I was wondering how it would hold up. Cheers man. I've got some major thinking to do about the shop I'm at now.
High end shops work better when they have a painter and a different person that wet sands and buffs. it is too much to do both and still have good production! micro management is always a bummer. good choice to leave, do what makes you happy
Depends mainly on the person ... but yes, division of labor is good.
If you employ a painter, and make him spend more time polishing, it's kinda unfair on him if he came to your shop to mainly paint.
The occasional polish is fine and fun.
I'm getting micromanaged atm at work by a superior who's chasing a new position (the worst), and I'm hardly doing what I love anymore, not to mention, as soon as he tells me to do something else, my day is ruined and I end up having to run to get stuff done because he messed up my entire organisation and flow. Considering the fact I get more work done than any of my other colleagues, despite taking extra pauses, and working slower, I'm still much faster because I never need to redo shit I've already done.
It's driving me crazy. And I also seriously contemplate leaving.
good on ya gunny im just setting up shop now i do a bit of youtube only small compared to you but my followers are gassed im starting to take on jobs if you are a decent painter you will never be out of work and you have to go try these things good luck in the new shop 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I also Quit my job for the same reason I was just getting bored and not feeling challenged and getting bored. It was the same paint job all the time .happy for you man!
I like the color u throw on the car looks so sweet n smooth
Love your videos gunny you have inspirede greatly!!
L😆L!!! Welcome back to the general public Gun Man, Happy to know that your back with us!!! Fixing the daily beaters where the real action is at and your VALUED expertise is appreciated!
😎👍
This is why i left my old job they had me doing prep work for 6months i got sick of it cause they had me as a back up painter. Now im doing everything its so much more fun
Might be time to open your own shop.
Good on you for knowing what you want
Good on ya bro
Be true to yourself and your own desires Gunny not other people’s and life will treat you right buddy , good luck in your next venture 👍
Totally get it man. I recently left the automotive industry myself after several years as a technician, last two of those at tesla. Never looked back.
Yep. I recall commenting on one of your first vids from that shop.
Way to slow for you. It gets in our blood man. Once you are a production guy, it's almost impossible to turn back.
Strongly agree!!
Awesome painting man, glad the new shop is keeping you challenged, I myt need to take a leaf out of your book unfortunately
As my mum always says gunny do wat makes you happy good luck m8
I was like you yrs ago in a Holden dealership, working there was a nightmare, the foreman was always behind you, saying this and that along the way, and exactly like you I said look at the end result and if you can see fault in my work say so, they never could but wanted things done there way even they the end result was the same, I lasted 3 months and pulled the pin and vowed never to work in another one.
Your state of mind comes first. Glad you're in a happier place lad. Spray away. ;).
Whoa dude, that's a huge decision! I wish you all the best! I know you can do it! :D
I had a giggle as you were explaining your resons. As I have done the same thing many years ago. I started my apprenticeship in 1972 back in ths acrylic days in a large Sydney smash repair shop. I excelled in my job winning a state award in my last year of apprenticeship. I painted a lot of race and drag cars some for show. I too got bored with all the finishing processes. Thru the 80s I mainly repaired and painted trucks then moving on to large mining and farm machinery, also all types of airplanes, mainly crop dusters. I have worked for myself since the late 70s , I have retired now just sold my last panelshop, I am doing up some old cars at my leisure so I understood your reasoning. All the very best to you.
Thanks mate.
Your a legend mate, I've never regretted leaving a job, I know what I'm worth, I know what I'm good at and if your boss can't see that he or she does not deserve you.
*you're a legend.
Same thing happened to me at a bmw shop. To many people telling you how to do your job by people who have never done it. Perfect video gunny im about to leave my shop for another one. Its a hard decision
I used to paint in a production shop very fast-paced painted up 8 cars a day that wasn't for Me it was a good job and I really enjoyed painting but doing that many cars a day I knew things were not getting done properly I didn't want my name on most of jobs . Keep op the nice work looks outstanding.
I felt that initially it was the wrong way to work there, exactly according to my feelings. I don't like perfectionism brought to insanity.I like to make living things out of broken things , but no more it's just a piece of iron. You did everything right and I would like to see you in the old place. All the best and my respect! Gunny
I respect ✊ you gunny and you really good in what you’re doing and those new videos you make I really enjoy watching them because it have a lot off polishing and detailing is my favorite lol 😂 keep it up gunny much love and respect 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊✊✊✊✊✊👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪💪🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Your a good man gunny
I wish you were in my area cause I'd have you do my car. All the best in your new direction.
Funny you mentioned "judge my end result" as my favourite saying (in a completely different trade) is " don't criticise the cake before it's finished baking".
